Remember that show called Movie Magic? No wonder this photo looked familiar to me. In one episode, they explained how to morph photos to achieve similar effect. Wilson Wong took this photo, which works in a same way as our previous “Different Perspective” illusion. Whats even more interesting, is that I had a puzzle from Ravensburger with 3000 pieces of an image similar to this. Ravensburger is a company that produces such cool puzzles and even some made from wood (ever saw those classy wood puzzles?) Either way, this is what Wilson wrote to me: “This may interest you for the optical illusion website. It is my own photo….and it dumbfounded quite a lot of people.” I think you will have no problem understanding it, concerning experience you built solving hundreds of optical illusions and magic tricks from this site :) Check for more interesting photos in our Flickr category.
An interesting photo found its way to my mailbox today. The optical illusion is obvious, and variations have been seen numerous times on this website. I like how creative, yet simple it is to make these, while on the other hand they produce quite funny effect. Do you like these kind of funny illusions? If the answer is yes, check “Magazine Face“, “Geisha Illusion“, and few dozen more from the Transparent Screens category. You can also try and make your own versions, and send them to me. I promise I’ll publish the most creative ones, or even put them all together inside a future post. What do you think?
Many amazing chalk drawings and murals have posted in the past, but this collection beats them all! All of the photosBest Optical Illusion EVER!
in this post were collected, and submitted by one of our fans named Adriano. If you jump inside this post you will see that every Mural is Trompe L’Oeil (”fool the eye”), and has it’s belonging photo of the same site, before it was painted. Magnificent! Which one did you like the most? More: Murals Category, 3D Sidewalk Drawings.
Rob Clement found this awesome illusion created by Evan C. Davis. Be sure to check Evan’s website for more cool stuff. Rob asks us what do we see in this multiple meaning picture below? Is it an Angry Biker? Or is it a Sad Rabbi? It all depends on how do you flip the picture, or which face you look at. In the first picture it’s a biker with unshaved beard and bad-ass expression, if you flip this image, you see a rabbi with rabbi-hat, that is composed of biker’s beard, and here biker’s curly hair becomes Rabbi’s curly beard. Twisted, ayeh? Looks really simple to make in MS Paint, but what is needed is and idea if you want to make one of your own! There are hundreds of similar illusions on this site. Original was Young Lady or an old hag, I think. Followed by “Before and After 6 Beers“. Many more can be found inside multiple meanings category.
This one has to be the best illusion I came across. It’s a scanned flayer for the local dancing school (probably this one). Took some time to see it tough, but when I noticed the illusion I couldn’t stop laughing. I’ll let you figure this one yourselves. No hints from me!My head still hurts, but I went to see a doctor. Guess what she told me – “It’s a sinus inflammation pressing on my optic nerve” .. or something like that. I think I won’t be needing any doctor in the future, cause it seems like consulting with my readers is much easier. I even get 2nd opinion (and 3rd, and 4th, and so on…) I was amazed how schtoogler thought of this first (in comments of my previous post), and many others suggested the same thing. Schtoogler will you be my Online doctor of trust? Hehe… Thanks everyone for all your care and good wishes, except those who suggested I had AIDS or tumor.. I haven’t approved those comments, but think I should have. Probably they were worried as well, not just being evil!
Peter Qviller, probably inspired by Camel Cigarettes article, spotted the hidden bear in Toblerone chocolate logo. Here’s what Peter said: “If you look closely on the Matterhorn mountain on the Toblerone chocolate, you will see the swiss symbol of Bern (a Bear) incorporated into the mountain“. I think the bear was supposed to be seen by people, but not many notice it. Can you see it? I’m not biggest fan of this chocolate, but this photo sure gave me inspiration to find some chocolate in my kitchen. Hope I have some, let me check… No luck :( There are few more logos that include symbolism. Remember we talked about Fedex logo, and the arrow hidden in it? Also there was Big Ten basketball confederation logo. It hid number 11, due to later added Penn State team. Mira foundation also cleverly included blind person into their sign.
Hy everyone. For today I have prepared simple, yet amazing optical illusion (like I always do :) The Poggendorff Illusion is an optical illusion that involves brain’s perception of the interaction between diagonal lines and horizontal and vertical edges. It is named after Poggendorff, who discovered it in the drawing of Johann Karl Friedrich Zöllner, in which Zöllner showed the Zöllner illusion in 1860. In the picture to the left, a straight A and B line is obscured by a “track”. The A line appears, instead of the B line, to be the same as the C one, which is shown not to be the case. If you would like to check this for your selves, be sure to jump inside this article, and see the explanation example. I can’t beleive I missed posting this one, since it is so perfect optical illusion reperesentative.
It’s hard to imagine these two tables have exactly the same shape of their tops. You don’t believe me? Simply print this image, cut the first top with your scisors, and then place it above other table’s top and you’ll see they align perfectly. This magic trick can also be proven with Photoshop.
If you look a the vintage photo below, at first it seems to be a simple couple with a large head floating between them. But things aren’t always what they seem. Most people will probably just see a large bearded head between the two figurines. It looks like some sort of Jesus head. But look again, carefully this time. What the photo actually shows, is a CHILD SITTING on the man’s knee. If you still don’t see it, block out the “hair” of the illusive head – it is just a collection of the background foliage anyway. The “eye” is actually child’s face (shadowed by a large white bonnet). The “nose” is the sleeve, and the “mustache” is the child’s arm. If you still don’t see it, be patient – It may take awhile to see it.
Still no luck obtaining necessary iPone apps. I figured out if I wanted to post to this blog off an iPhone, I’d need some crucial utilities. First I’d like to know if there is a simple iPhone app that allows me to resize photos to a width I prefer. Secondly, I’d need a good copy-paste option enabled. Above all that, I’d need an app that would let me enter text inside Blogger’s “Create Post” form. I can’t believe Google hasn’t introduced blogger app out yet. Well, if someone knows answer to any of my questions, please share. In the mean time here’s a simple optical illusion that involves ropes. Apparently, something isn’t as you think it should be in the first photo. If you can’t find out what’s wrong, be sure to check second pic which can be found inside this article.
